The Alpha’s Human Mate

She followed the maid until they almost entered the garden. “You can go now. He’s waiting for you.” The maid said with a bow and left instantly, without waiting for Ellie to talk.

Ellie wanted to ask the maid to take her to where he was, but she realized that the maid did not even wait or hear her reply before leaving. “He’s waiting for me? Why would he be waiting in the garden for me?” She asked herself. She was still having doubts about going, but she found herself moving forward.

Ellie walked inside the quiet garden. “Alex. Alex.” She called out but didn’t get any reply. The garden was so quiet that she could only hear the sound of her heels. “I know you don’t want me to come here, but just come out and let’s talk.” She said, still moving forward. Then suddenly, she realized the garden had stopped, and she had stepped into a maze.

“I think I should just go back to avoid getting lost.” She turned back to leave but ended up taking the wrong turn, which made her confused, and she started entering the dark maze more. It was the full moon in the sky that was giving her light to see the path.

“Oh my goodness! I can’t believe you’ve gotten yourself lost in a maze, Ellie!” She said to herself before taking her phone from her purse to call Maya, but she realized her phone was not getting any network signal.

She tried moving her phone around, but she still didn’t get any signal. “Damn it.” She expressed her frustration by running her hand into her hair.

She was still moving her phone around when she suddenly heard noises behind the leaves, which made her turn around.

“Hello. Is anyone there? Alex. Are you there?” She asked, looking in the direction where the noise came from. She calmed herself down to hear the noise again, but suddenly heard the grass of the maze move behind her, which got her really scared.

She turned and walked back slowly, with shaky hands and feet, when she saw a glowing blue object behind the grass. They seemed like eyes to her.

She gulped her spit and moved back slowly before running through another path in the maze. She didn’t bother looking back; she kept taking different directions, but she knew that the thing was also running after her. She shouted and ran until she fell to the ground.

She looked around, shivering in fear. She didn’t see the thing that was chasing her again, but she felt something run behind her. She crawled forward in fear and tried to move to a place that was dark in the maze.

She noticed she had lost her phone while running. Tears began to fall out of her eyes, but it didn’t take long before a creature suddenly jumped to where she was hiding.

Ellie thought her life would end at that instant. She could not even move or make a sound; she was shocked and, at the same time, scared that she had to close her eyes to accept whatever was going to happen to her. The wolf growled at her loudly before jumping to pounce on her, but everything happened so fast. She opened her eyes slowly and saw the wolf groaning in pain.

But what got her more scared was another wolf, which saved her was staring directly into her eyes.

“What nonsense are you telling me?! What the hell did you bring her here to do in the first place?!” He screamed at Maya, who was still shivering in fear.

“I think we should look for her first rather than just waste time fighting,” Callum said.

“Who’s this person you’re looking for?” Madeline asked in confusion, but none of them replied. Alex looked at Maya one last time before leaving to go look for Ellie.

He went back downstairs to the party and tried to use his sense of smell to get to her, but failed. “I can’t seem to get her scent here.” Alex said to Callum in frustration. He had never been so scared before in his life; his heart was pounding so fast that he couldn’t even control it.

Without waiting for Callum, he dashed out of the party and went outside to look for her. They walked and searched for her around before they decided to split. Alex almost got to the maze before he caught her scent more.

He walked into the maze in a hurry, tracing her scent before he finally felt the scent getting stronger. He rushed to where she was and was surprised to see a wolf growling at her and about to pounce on her.

He was so angry and transformed into his wolf self without thinking. Before the wolf could jump on her, he pounced on the wolf and bit its hand without mercy. The black wolf under him groaned in pain before turning into its human form.

He turned back to look at the girl, who was still shivering in fear. He stared at her for a while before turning into his wolf form. He felt like there was no need to hide from her again, especially when this wolf that almost attacked her had transformed before her.

A… Alex. She stuttered before passing out. He ran towards her and called her by tapping her face.

Ellie! Wake up. He said, touching her face lightly. He was so scared to see that she was not waking up.

“Alex! Calm down. She only passed out because of the stress. We need to take her to the hospital.” Callum said to him, trying to help him carry Ellie, but he refused, telling him he would carry her himself. “Do not let him go; I’ll make sure he begs for death for even trying to hurt my woman.” He turned to the guy who was still lying on the floor, groaning in pain.

Maya and Madeline stood at the entrance of the maze. As soon as they saw Alex carrying a girl in his arms, Madeline walked towards him and asked. “What’s going on here? Who’s this?! She was so angry and, at the same time, surprised to see a human girl with her son, but Alex did not say anything; he just walked to his car and placed Ellie in the backseat before driving out of the house.

Madeline wanted to follow him, but Maya stopped her and told her to calm down so as not to alert the pack members. Sophie, who saw how Alex and Callum dashed out of the building, was also beside them. She was so angry to see how her plans had failed.

He took her to a hospital for wolves and humans, which was not far from the house. He didn’t even bother thinking about his mother. The only thing on his mind was his mate’s health.

“Alpha Alex. The patient is fine. She just needs rest, and she’ll be okay.” Lincoln, his doctor, said to him. He has been his family doctor for a long time, which has made him know a lot about Alex.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

“What about the baby?” Alex asked.

“The baby is also fine, so you don’t need to worry,” Lincoln said with a smile. He was surprised to see the Alpha caring so much about a human girl. He wanted to ask, but Callum, who would have answered him, wasn’t there. He bowed before leaving the room.

He looked at the lady lying on the bed. Her face was pale, and her knee and hand were bandaged due to the wounds she sustained.

He sighed and took one of her hands. “I wonder what the first thing you’ll say to me tomorrow is.” He said, giving a weak smile. He was so bothered about how she would react tomorrow; he knew she might even try to run away, even though she couldn’t escape from him.
